I read a couple times it being said the crimp pins in the plug and the longer guided pins in the board connector are copper with no coating to either of the two. That of coarse explain the corrosion that is beginning to become visible on each of these parts.
I do not have access to a metal tester, and on my new V3 I see that the pins on the board do not have a shine to them that I would expect them to have if they had a gold coating. I'm not saying it doesn't have the gold, it just doesn't have the appearance of having it.
